Replaced Two Broken Tracks
The old tracks had been falling out consistently, causing the deli tray to fall on top of the food below it (which included the eggs, though none were broken since they were in a hard plastic container).

I had some difficulty getting the new track installed, however. All the parts lined up, but I just couldn't get the tracks to slide into place. After some brute force and about 10 minutes, they were finally installed.

Best thing about it is that it doesn't appear that these tracks are coming out easily! Mission accomplished!

Track broke that guided one of the drawers
I used the diagrams I found on line to order the part and then simply removed one track and installed the new one. Cleaned up all components and reinstalled the drawer. These tracks simply slide up and over to lock themselves into the bracket that attaches to the adjustable shelves bracket.

Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

tracks for the deli drawer were broken
I removed the old tracks and installed the new ones. There were small round protrusions on the new tracks that prevented me from sliding them into the brackets in the refrigerator so, I filed them down with a fingernail file and then they slid right into place.

replacing slide track to meat drawer shelf
The slides fit into the slots of the self metal, but couldn't be pushed forward to lock into place! At first I tried to put the slider in by hand, but it wouldn't snap in place no matter how hard I tried. A friend also tried to get the slider into the slots and push forward to lock in place in the metal part of the shelf. No go! It took a while, but I figured if I used a hammer to tap the slider into place that might work. It did. It would have been helpful to have some instructions on inserting the slider, such as "use a hammer tap the slider so it locks the slider into place". You just can't do it by hand! Other than that, it went really well and replacement then only took 1 minute. . .instead of the 30 minutes it took to try to lock the sliders.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Broken track
Removed broken tracks, installed new tracks. Had to file off two knobs on each track that prevented the tracks from seating properly. Installed easily and locked into place once the knobs were gone.

Weight of the produce bin with the contents inside had cracked the tracks
First I removed the tracks from each side of the metal rack. Very easy using your hands to slide the tab until the part falls away.

Next I inserted the track into the tab position and snapped it into place.

Warning, dont let your kids pull the produce bin out all the way to the end of the track as it will bend and then finally crack like mine did, but thankfully an easy fix using the PartsSelect.com web site with their easy to navigate parts illustration list and manual.

My kids broke the track on the slide out drawer
First I removed the drawer from the tracks. Second I took the whole shelf out and removed the track from it (it just slides in and out of place). Next I went to my computer and pulled up www.partselect.com found my model number,which was very easy, then ordered my part. In about three days my part arrived. I went to the fridge and slid the piece in. I put the drawer back in and checked for proper operation. It worked like new. Last I closed the door and I was done. Very simple job done with a great quality part.

The lightbulb burned out
Replace the refrigerator lightbulb while traveling 88 mph then turned on the flux capacitor being carful not to get stuck in a worm hole. This allows you to fix the problem before it starts to go bad.

Meat drawer tracks(2) broken on ends
Ordered and received parts. Removed drawer and shelf unit. Removed the glass from top of shelf. Each track(2) slides out of slots on each of the metal shelf brackets. Slid old tracks out of each shelf bracket. Had to use small screwdriver to push down plastic tab that locks track before it would slide all the way out. Each new track had a small tab on each end, which would not let them slide into the slots on the metal shelf brackets. Used a small saw (could also use a file) to remove the 2 tabs on each track. Slid the new tracks onto metal shelf brackets, reinstalled shelf unit, glass top and drawer. Took about 40 minutes.

A broken slide track for one of the drawers
The part came in two days!! It had a couple of little bumps that made it impossible to slide in, so I ground them down and had the entire project finished in less than five minutes.

When I ordered, I was confused about the "Left Side or Right Side statement - thinking I needed to specify so I wrote a short email to customer support asking about it. WIthin an hour, I had a reply.

The customer service and speed of delivery were the best ever!!!

Broken right front track
Remove old track with a flat blade screwdriver by Gently tapping on the tabs to unlock from the shelf bracket. Simply reverse the procedure to install the new track. I used a bench grinder to quickly remove the round button near the front of the track to keep the track flush to the mounting bracket of the glass shelf.
